We have had a lot of stories since the election about how the Republicans can come back from the thrashing they got from the ladies, the browns, and the blahs. The most popular theory is that they should bring forth their own ladies, and browns, and blahs as candidates the next time around, and at the top of that list is "Bobby" Jindal, the governor of Louisiana, and the new chairman of the Republican Governors Association. For some reason, which obviously doesn't account for his fall into the orchestra pit in his first major national TV appearance, and obviously doesn't account for the fact that he was the last person on earth who thought Rick Perry should be president, Jindal is considered to be the cutting edge in Republican presidential timber.

Except, of course, that Jindal is a religious crackpot.

Over the past year, Jindal has managed to marry educational "reform" grifting to Christian theocracy by allowing charter schools in his state to employ to teach from Jesus-on-a-dinosaur creationist textbooks. Well, today, a local judge pretty much blew up the whole system on him. If the funding system is unconstitutional, then the problem of Louisiana's schoolchildren being taught theories from Fantasy Island goes down with it. And "Bobby" will have something very interesting to talk himself out of come 2016.
